NO not a scam......I will post all the required info. Waiting for NYS to send me criteria. A legit third party will draw the winning ticket. Drawing to held in the showroom the day after Thanksgiving 2008 or before if we get the desired 400 tickets sold. Everyone can come down when the ticket is pulled BTW. No clsed door BS.

That's cool that you can do that in NYS.

Up here, we have to do the drawing on the date and time approved by the state, and we can't sell tickets until the license is issued. Tickets must carry the license number and drawing date.
I had to submit the the dates of drawings over a year in advance. The license is only valid during the one hour approved drawing time. And the license cost $450.00.
And that's for a non-profit.

Sounds like New York is much more lenient than MI. If I had advertised my raffle prior to receiving the license the fines would have been steep. NYS rocks.

BTW...as far as moneys go....we are not cashing anything in advance. We might do one of two things. Wait till we get close and clear the checks based on the amount sold. OR Cash just the winners check....if it bounces the runner up gets the boat. We do not want to hold peoples moneys up and if we do not reach our goal we dont want to spend countless hours writting refund checks. We can just mail the un cashed check back to each buyer.

Good luck.

I'm so tempted to buy a ticket but i have no idea what i'd do with a 37ft AT. but i have no luck and couldnt win a raffle if i bought 99 tickets.

I'll be sending a check in once that happens. I wouldn't have considered it at $1K, but if all the info is put out there, I'll take a chance at $250.

Fill in the spot under your name that say NONE YET. Then may be go to the beach ,go for a ride , do a poker run, look at it, enjoy a sunset on the water . what the heck for 250 take it fishing or what ever your hart desires

i dunno why but the thought of someone fishing or crabbing off that boat makes me laugh. i think its "heart"

OK ,sounds fair.

Once you post all the info , i am in.

Sorry about my post, but you know how things can go bad.

I started the $ 250.00 ticket request. Post the rules and I'm in. You should post all names that buys a ticket daily for every one to see. That way every one can see there ticket number posted.
